We love our Friends! ❤📚
National Friends of Libraries Week is the perfect time to highlight all that our Friends do to support the Library. Annual sales are the perfect chance to support the Friends and your Library - all funds raised help us to provide great programs for you!
The Friends host the annual used book sale (First Saturday in March), the Solon Area Garage Sales (First weekend in June), Halloween costume sales (October), and the Holiday Puzzle Sale (First Saturday in December) as their major fundraising efforts.

Join us in saying THANK YOU to the Friends for all that they do!

Happy National Friends of Libraries Week! 🎉

This week, we recognize and celebrate the volunteers everywhere who support their libraries in all kinds of ways—from fundraising to advocacy to spreading the word about all the great things the library has to offer.

YOU can become a friend of your library and make a lasting difference in your community. Ask your librarian about joining your library's Friends group, or consider starting your own if your library doesn't have one yet.
